railroad men say the fange on the rear
truck wheel of the Pullman car caught in
the point of the switch and threw the
switch over The forward part of the
Pullman car continued toward the Troy
and Boston track, while the rear part
staid on the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and

The League Standing.
Notes.

The Bluebells played a game of ball
yesterday afternoon with the employees of
the postoffice, resulting in score of & to
| at the close of the fifth inning. The
feature of the game was the especially
fine manner in which George Austin
handled the ball at second base.
The greatest right fielder IN the country
to-day, all things considered, is Thomp-
son of the Detroits.
AT Denver, June 2, Smith, the tall first
baseman of the home club, made a home
run at a critical moment in the game with
the Topekas. No sooner had he started
on the circuit of bases than the spectators
began to shower silver coins into the vi
cinity of the home plate. The cheering
lasted for fully five minutes, and Smith
was kept busy picking up his money.
Forty two dollars was the total of the con
tribution.
1t is said that the only reason why the
st. Adams team we've able to get hit OIL
Mullane yesterday was that Beecher could
not hold him, owing to sore hand, and
that the latter had to be favored.
Nadeboncoeur and Abbott have been re
leased from the Rutland nine, and new
players engaged to fill their places.
Meade and Cahiil, the battery of tht
Holy Cross college ball nine have signed
to play with the Lowells after this month

DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
A Steamer and $50 Passengers, Mostly
East Indian Ladies, Lost

CALCUTTA, June 1T has been proved
beyond doubt, by the picking up of the
captains chest, that the steamer Sir John
Lawrence was lost in the recent cyclone
off this coast. The steamer carried 100
passengers and it is believed the whole
number were lost. The largest part of
the passengers were native ladies who
were going to Juggernaut, in Orissa, to
celebrate the Juggernaut festival. The
catastrophe has cast feeling of gloom
over the Hindu community here, and all
the best families are in mourning for
relatives or friends who were among the
passengers.

Tho Sewerage Question.
fCoMMUNfCATEp,I


DEAR SIRs:-Allow me space In your
paper to make few remarks on the
sewerage of this city that is talked about
at present, and also on the commissions
that are being appointed. The sewerage
question is great work, and should be
looked into carefully before any action be
taken. Our city debt Is large enough at
present and should not be Increased. !
have no doubt but that Colonel War
ing's ideas of sewerage are very good but
lis plan OF raising money is deceiving.
1t is on the credit of the city that any
company would lend money, and hope
and trust that our City Council will keep
control OF the sewerage themselves. II
company is allowed to get control of it,
no man could tell what 1t would cost the
city. My idea would be for City Council
to appropriate every year what they could
afford without taxing the people too
heavily, aRd let the income from the
sewerage be added to what Council could
give. If this was properly managed it
would be self sustaining, and In time be
d benefit and bring an income to the city.
l am opposed to these commissions, still
admit that auy com mission would be bet
ter than the way Council is managing
things at present. 1t would make an
honest man blush to see the monthly
salaries of some of these Councilmen,
knowing how many poor families are sui
fering for the necessaries of life at pres
ent. The citizens in general, without re-
gar d to party, should get up petition
and send it to the Legislature now in ses
sion, to pass an election law. My idea
would be to put the voting tax recsipt of
sn maa, except property holders, down to
i Al
allowing no man to hold an elec tion that
him give $500 security. Then we would
have fair nomination and election, bet
ter Councilmen and need no commission.
/ am opposed to all appointing power, for
1t is neither Democratic or Republican.
